Foster carers come from all walks of life. To be a foster carer you need to have a genuine interest in caring for vulnerable children whist having patience and time to spend with a child to support them as they grow.
You will need to have:
- A real interest in helping local children and their families
- Time to devote to the needs of the child
- Time throughout the working day to attend to the needs of the child
- Energy and an enthusiastic attitude with children
- A secure and stable home environment
- A spare bedroom for a foster child, who must have a room of their own.
- A non-judgemental approach in respect of a child’s birth family.
The Council offers a wide range of training to suit your individual placement needs and all carers receive an allowance to help them care for the foster children that are placed with them.
